Janil Puthucheary on NUH improvements after case of expectant mother who lost baby
The family of the expectant mother who lost her baby has acknowledged that she had not been left unattended for two hours at the National University Hospital (NUH). She received attention and care from the NUH emergency department team from the time that she arrived. The couple has had discussions with the NUH team and the matter has since been closed between the two parties. The family had put up a social media post recently acknowledging this. It noted that the sudden unfortunate outcome of the pregnancy was not the result of her experience at the hospital. NUH has investigated the matter thoroughly and reviewed its processes in consultation with the Ministry of Health and the Director of Medical Services. Its clinical care processes are appropriate. But there were some areas for improved communications and coordination of transfers between the emergency department and the delivery suite. NUH has implemented these improvements. Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary gave this update in reply to Parliamentary questions on Tuesday (Apr 5).
